Passport to Shame Page #3

Favour, every time I meet

you I'm making money.

Look, here is my lawyer's card.

Go and see him. I'm sure

he can fix up something.

Good evening Mr Biaggi.

Hello.

I'll marry her for half the

price, how about that?

You know the girl I

was talking about...

she's pretty too.

Vicky, I want you to...

Good looker isn't she?

So was my sister once.

That was Nick. I'd

nothing to do with it.

You know that don't you?

She's talking about suicide again...

Vicky I've got to go out for a few

minutes, keep your eye on Malou will you.

Why me?

Because you're the only one Nick

will allow in the other house.

And don't forget, shut the

connecting door after you.

Oh, hello.

Hello. I'm Vicky.

Are you a friend of Ms Agatha?

Yeah.

What have you got there?

I just saved it from

breaking his neck.

You know, you remind me of someone.

I shall call him 'Mignon'.

Means cute.

Mignon.

Mignon. Mignon. Mignon.

Have you known Ms Agatha long?

Aggie? Long enough.

You like it here?

Oh I love it.

Never had such a job.

You can believe that.

Drink?

No thank you.

Do you think she'll let me keep it?

I don't see why not.

We've all gotta have

something in this life.

Yes, a decent job.

And I've got one here.

What do you work at?

Nothing.

Don't you work at all?

Oh yes, i'm in the

entertainment business.

Really, what do you do?

Entertain.

No I mean, what sort of...

Oh don't ask so many damn

questions you worse than a kid.

Look, don't take

any notice of me.

I'm like that at times.

It's alright.

You know you do look like her.

Like she was.

Who?

My kid sister.

Malou darling, I want you to meet my business

adviser and good friend, Nick Biaggi.

How do you do?

Better as a friend than

a business adviser i'm afraid.

Hello Vicky, what an

unexpected pleasure.

Well now I've been trying to

get you a working permit.

There isn't any

difficulty is there?

I'm afraid there is.

A very serious one.

The official quota has run out and no more

permits are being issued until next year.

But what am I going to do?

There isn't anything she can

do except go back to France.

I can't!

The police.

Oh miss Agatha. I won't

leave you, I won't.

Isn't there any way?

I've consulted four solicitors and only one

of them an any sort of suggestion at all.

But that i'm afraid was quite crazy.

What was it?

Oh it's not worth talking

about I assure you.

May I help myself to a drink? Would

you care for one? - No thanks

But what was it?

Well he said the only thing would

be one of those one-day marriages.

You marry a British subject and

then have the marriage annulled.

Oh, you mean a 'Mariage blanc'?

Pardon?

You never see the man after the ceremony.
